Mobility Heroes

The relocation industry, or global mobility industry (call it whatever you like) has shaped my career in so many ways. From my early days in the profession to today, I have come to rely on so many mentors and colleagues and friends, who have gladly shared their insight and perspectives with me so selflessly.

Feel the Fear And Do It Anyway

One of the most ironic things to happen to me recently, was when I was asked by Worldwide ERC® to review a book for their April issue of MOBILITY Magazine.  This was for a special section that they are calling, “Member Picks: Books That Make Us Better.” So, why is this so ironic, you ask?  It’s simple, I am not a reader!
